Septicemia: Blood infections

Posted by peach414144 @peach414144, Nov 8, 2020

Septicemia three times. Now again in treatment with intravenous antibiotics. How at age 83 am I still alive? (From urinary track infections) Quite painful.

It doesn't matter your age. Mental health effects everyone and is the farthest from forgiving when you have additional health issues. I am in the same boat, only you've been struggling for a few more years than me 😉 I'd be happy to have a private conversation as a stranger helping another stranger in need. I've been less hopeful than I usually am and I don't want to do it anymore. Some days are fine but others I'm just fed up. Its tiring having to take care of yourself and all of these things you didn't ask for, but everyone is here for a reason and I believe I came across this post because I was supposed to reach out. We are BOTH going to get thru this. Love, always.

Yes, my days are about the same or similar to yours. The boredom is the worst. If I could be useful then the mind needs the quiet boredom. Not being productive is a big killer. The mind must be fed the mind must be useful, alert, aware. Just studying a growing morning glory wrapping its tentacle around and around a trellis. Day after day. Helping it wind about to get to the top and the glory of a bloseming flower. Miracle of miracles.
